Double Trouble
Is there anything that the William sisters can’t achieve? Not only do they dominate the WTA Tour, but they also dabble in fashion, writing, modeling and theatre. And in between the commotion, they spend quality time with their pet dogs and regularly send Tweets to their fans. Venus and Serena took a two-week break from their extracurricular activities, swung their racquets at Wimbledon, and made tennis headlines.
Little sisters have a knack for stealing the spotlight from their siblings, as fans witnessed during the Wimbledon final with the Williams’ sisters.
Venus attempted to win her sixth Wimbledon title, but
little sister Serena snatched the crown with a 7-6(3), 6-2 defeat. The win brought Serena’s Grand Slam singles titles tally to 11 – Venus holds seven.
Serena said that her game plan was to move Venus (who played with a heavily strapped knee) side-to-side. Venus assured her fans and the media that her injury didn’t affect the outcome.
Following their singles match, the sisters met Australian’s Rennae Stubbs and Samantha Stosur in the doubles’ final. Throughout the tournament, the Williams’ echoed a theme: stay focused.
“We were really serious and never wanted to underestimate anyone, no matter if we were far ahead or not. We really wanted to win the title,” said Serena. The American’s prevailed, 7-6(4), 6-4.
“One out of two’s not bad,” said Venus.
And who are we to doubt her?
